SMOKING IN 2015

Nowadays smoking is a huge problem in our society. In the past, smoking was a symbol of a high economic status and people weren´t aware of tobacco damaging effects. Fortunately, the situation has changed and now people are conscious of all the problems related to smoking.

In our opinion, tobacco should be forbidden in any country because it’s bad for our health and it’s addictive. Smoking for a long time can lead to different illnesses such as lung or throat cancer.

Despite all these problems, governments will never forbid tobacco because citizens spend a lot of money and that implies high taxes.

Even though there are smokers who would like to stop smoking they can’t because of the nicotine effect so they keep on smoking and spending a lot of money. One tobacco pack costs almost 5 euros, people smoke more or less one packet every day. So then they waste 1825 euros every year.

In conclusion, smoking doesn´t have any positive effect on people. Also one has to spend a lot of money on it and it causes injuries such as lung and throat cancer.
